Kawhi Leonard, Small Forward

Spruce Derden-USA TODAY SportsLeonard will have a difficult defensive task against Miami.

From scoring to rebounding to defense, Kawhi Leonard contributed to the Spurs' wins in many different ways.

Though he was surprisingly a non-factor on the glass, snagging only two rebounds in Game 1, Leonard voided that stat with an 18-point performance, including shooting 4-of-5 from distance.

Leonard was back to normal grabbing 8.7 rebounds per game in the final three contests, but he made his presence felt with a timely three-point bucket in Game 4. Leonard extended the Spurs' lead to six on the possession immediately following Zach Randolph trimming San Antonio's advantage to three late in the third quarter.

Also in Game 4, Leonard earned four of his game-high five steals in the final quarter of action to knock Memphis out of the postseason.

Leonard's tough defense and solid offensive contribution has been pivotal to the Spurs' success all season, and it certainly will not change in the finals.

Tim Duncan, Power Forward

Tim Duncan has never been flashy, and he played typical Duncan-esque basketball against Memphis.

Though the 16-year veteran only managed six points and 10 rebounds in Game 1, San Antonio waxed the Grizzlies by 22.

But in two overtime games and a series clincher, Duncan shined by, well, being the Big Fundamental. He scored 56 boring points, snared 27 ho-hum rebounds and swatted 10 emotionless shots en route to earning his fifth NBA Finals appearance.

Duncan's main flaw was committing five fouls in both Games 2 and 3, which allowed the Grizzlies to recover late in the game to force overtime.

Of course, there was the whole "make the first five-plus points in overtime" thing in both contests, but how meaningless is that?

Tiago Splitter, Center

Tiago Splitter will not win any awards for his performance against Memphis, but he steadily improved throughout the series.

Splitter was relatively nonexistent in Game 1, playing only 17 minutes, scoring one point and not grabbing a single rebound. The next three games, however, were a vastly different story.

He shot a combined 15-of-21, scoring 11.3 points and bringing down 4.0 rebounds per contest. Splitter's biggest contributions were recording six points during overtime of San Antonio's pivotal Game 3 win and blocking four shots in Game 4.

Splitter played 24.7 minutes and had 6.4 rebounds per game during the regular season, but a 3.0 mark in 26.3 minutes per matchup vs. Memphis must be improved upon during the finals to limit Miami's second-chance opportunities.

Matt Bonner, Power Forward

Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesBonner is San Antonio's best outside shooter.

Matt Bonner was fantastic in Game 1, draining four three-pointers, but that pretty much sums up the good part of his Western Conference Finals.

Despite playing 27 minutes in Game 2, Bonner only scored five points and missed three of his four attempts from distance. He also had an awful, horrible, horrendous foul of Zach Randolph that sparked Memphis' seven-point comeback in the final minute to force OT.

During Game 3, Bonner tolerably recovered, scoring eight points and grabbing three rebounds, but his 11-minute, two-point and five-foul performance in the series finale was not exactly memorable.

It is imperative Bonner capitalizes on his open looks against Miami—something he struggled to do vs. the Grizzlies after Game 1.

And the Rest of the Spurs

Spruce Derden-USA TODAY SportsBoris Diaw and Cory Joseph make their biggets contributions off the stat sheet.

Boris Diaw

Boris Diaw played his typical lost-in-the-shadows game, averaging 4.3 points and 1.8 rebounds per matchup, but his size in the post is what gave Diaw nearly 18 minutes per contest.

Looking ahead to the NBA Finals, Diaw must win his matchups against Chris "Birdman" Andersen and Udonis Haslem while Duncan is on the bench.

Overall Grade: C+

Gary Neal

Gary Neal scored 11 points in the Spurs' Game 1 blowout win before playing just 32 minutes during the remainder of the Western Conference Finals.

His few, yet productive minutes will help Parker and Green save energy for the crucial fourth quarter against the Heat.

Overall Grade: C

Cory Joseph

Cory Joseph had three points and five rebounds in Game 2, and he had layups on back-to-back possessions in the first quarter of Game 4.

Similar to Neal, Joseph's main jobs are to spell San Antonio's guards and to not turn the ball over—something of which he did a fine job vs. Memphis, committing only two turnovers in 37 minutes of action.
